DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND DRIVING SUPPORT PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A driving support device, comprising:
- an imaging unit for capturing images of a vicinity of a vehicle;
a recording unit for recording image data of the images captured by the imaging unit;
a movement status determining unit for acquiring movement information relating to movement of the vehicle and determining a movement status of the vehicle based on the acquired movement information;
a composite image creating unit for, based on (i) the movement status determined by the movement status determining unit and (ii) a parameter associated with the movement status, compositing the image data recorded in the recording unit and creating a composite image of an area including a position of the vehicle;
a displaying unit for displaying the composite image created by the composite image creating unit; and
a calibrating unit for calibrating the parameter based on (a) a position of a reference marker included in the composite image that the composite image creating unit created according to the movement status and (b) a predicted position of the reference marker superimposed and displayed on the composite image according to the movement status.

Abstract
In a driving support device and method, images of a vicinity of a vehicle are captured and recorded. Movement information relating to movement of the vehicle is acquired and a movement status of the vehicle based on the acquired movement information is determined. Based on (i) the determined movement status and (ii) a parameter associated with the determined movement status, the recorded image data is composited to create a composite image of an area including a position of the vehicle. The composite image is displayed on a display unit. The parameter is calibrated based on (a) a position of a reference marker included in the composite image created according to the movement status and (b) a predicted position of the reference marker superimposed and displayed on the composite image according to the movement status.

10. A driving support method, comprising the steps of:
-
capturing, by an imaging unit, images of a vicinity of a vehicle; recording, in a recording unit, image data of the captured images; acquiring movement information relating to movement of the vehicle and determining a movement status of the vehicle based on the acquired movement information; based on (i) the determined movement status and (ii) a parameter associated with the determined movement status, compositing the image data recorded in the recording unit and creating a composite image of an area including a position of the vehicle; displaying, on a display unit, the composite image; and calibrating the parameter based on (a) a position of a reference marker included in the composite image created according to the movement status and (b) a predicted position of the reference marker superimposed and displayed on the composite image according to the movement status. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
